PIM 13 0 X :TA' G - • , match he(ween young BeMiler and Pem/eilii, wilich was fixed to take place last week, at Mou'soy,' was decided yesterday on a summit half a mile frbi.n • the Rubbing-house on Epsom Downs. It would be superflifous to give any description oldie perfedions of Belch:4in the art of Boxing, his recent combaiS having made him univer s ally known as a professor ' interior in science to no one. With respect to gherty, his combats; although very irecpent, have . been with novices, and consequently he could not have acquired much fame, but his last combat with young Crib, three months since, gave proofs of im proverneut, and his present adversary was. the nearest professor with whom he could contend to stamp his fame, with another victory. His friends had'enter tained sanguine hopes of his success, considering . Belcher as a man tot likely to administer to him as much beating as he should be capable of carrying away, or able to) rally successfully , with him. Tp describe with effect the dispositiop of the great and little amateurs, and the scenes which were produced on the road to the field of combat,' would be impos- . Bible but at twelve o'clock the motley wimp had assembled on the Downs, and shortly atter the corn,,. batants arrived at the ring, an inner one of 20 feet having been rdped off to perform in. The seconds were Mendoza and Clark for Belcher, ,and Cropley and Dick Hall for Dogherty. Bettipg at setting to was precisely six to fitir on Belcher. THE IIArIL E. Round 1. After spar ring for half a minute, each of the com batants made a hit at one instant ; Belcher stopped, and his blow fell short, when they closed,: after an 'irregular rally ; they di6engagcd, and belcher nit his man a slight. blow at bait arm. an.t Dogbert3'. attemotmg to return it, aosed and threw his man.—netting thotame as at the. commence ment. 2. Dogherty,made . play without ceremony, by attempting e Jett-handed hit at Ina opponant's head, but Beicaer stopped . it skilfully ; and atter Dogherty had made a rally, %Owl did not harm his adversary, he was hit MI ins legs with great dexterity. —Two tot 011 iiCICII:. - T. 3. An excellent well-contested round, and all the skill and strength of the combatants was ahewn, llogherty com menced :tea rally within distance, with determined courage, but lie liacrahe worst of the• contlid throughout, although he made aoine dexteauus stops; but Belcher, by hitting aid stopping a; the same menu:tit, had his fists, one or the other, constantly in lloghetty's face, but he was at length thrown. 4. bogherty made a false left-handed feint, whet; Belcher, within distance, hit him a severe facer before he recovered his guard, and for tut first time commenced a furious rally, which was well opposed by Poglierty, who, however dexterously he 'ade some stops, could plant no hits, but faller received their; in a manner to have put an end to combat, with an or dinary talti r —He hallowed Dogherty round the ring, con stantly hitting hint with all imaginable ease on the head only, and at length dropped him by a blow under the right jaw. —3 tot 011 Belcher. S. Belcher hit Ina adversary a tremendous blow in the, throat with his tuff hand through his guard, which left Dog betty so much abroad, that he received three others on the head, which resounded through thcring. Nn irregular tall closed the round. 6. Belcher hit his opponent two blows at setting to, the last of which dropped lure. Tina round was not so much in favour of Belcher as those pieeedint, for although he rallied his adversary, he Was well stopped, and slightly hit, but Uogherty tell on one of his blows. 8. Dogherty went in very intemperately, and fought in a determuted manner. Belcher's limo was wholly occupied in stopping and attempting to stop, for some 1:11./WS were scirn. tili‘ally aimed by Dogherty, but he had bast his distance ; the combatants closed, and Dokherty threw his adversary on the ropes with apparent ease. In this round, betting was re duced to about 6 to 4, for although Logherty appeared much pinked, lie was strong on his legs and fresh, and consequently worth the risk of backing against Belcher, where stamina, rendered success doubt ittl ta. Although Belcher haditlie hestuf this round, he threw sonic hits away and was 1111 himself, and, after closing, he tell undermuat. • to. lloglierty eagerly followed his adversary, who as cau tiously retreated to take his advantage of skill in planting hits, two of which he well piamod, and Dogherty was thrown, tr. Belcher gave his adversary two other hits in the lace, and both tell out of the ring. ;a. performed precisely the same as In the last round, and after jobbing him, threw him. 13. I)ogherty received a heavy fill in attempting to rally. Any odds, but no takers. la. Belcher hit his adversary down when attempting to rally.--Five to one. , • ta. This round was considered derisive of vidlory for Bel cher. . llogherty's'head was frightful in appearance, and al. though he seemed to maintain the same resolution as at set ting to, he had not power to place a 'alma , . When lie rallied; Belchartnet him by a well. measured distance, and the good ness of the other brought a close, in w ilia ti Belcher puntslual him, by under half-arm hits, aria at lenatli &tipped him from between hiaarrria. 16 and t 7. These rounds were, as usual, so. much in fa vour of Belcher, that in the latter round so confident was he in not giving a chance away, that he left Ins adversary in a feeble , posture without hitting him. 18 and 19. These rounds were also in favour 9f Belcher, although Dogherty had made a• slight turn in the odds, by some gaiety, but it was of short duration. lie stopped his adversary very cleverly, but he had not power to hit him.— Both tell m the latter round, as if weak . To detail further partiaulars of this combat would be only to state, that Butcher's fists were never away from Dogherty's face, and the blows of the former were put in with as much strength as at the corn- ' mencernent. Dogherty was fighting under heavy hurts, as his figure demonstrated, and Belcher was' arousing himself its if sparring in the Fives Court. The 24th round reduced the battle to ma certainty, notwithstanding Dogherty, appeared determined n o t . to res . ..gn_till nature compelled. In this round Bel cher hit him three or four se here blows in the face, and at length by a blow in the wind and neck at' the same moment, doubled him together so scientifically . that he fell like a helpless infant.. • Nine other rounds were fought, in which Pogher ty only faced his adversary to fall without ever being hit. Belcher- threw a semerset at 'the close of the battle, which lasted 3$ minutes, and ran to the Ruh.' bing-house, where he was trained, without stopping: • to dress hitfiself. RIMAIIKS.—BeIcher fbught this battle with more' gratification to the beholders than he kid ever d o ne tn his several well-c o ntested combats , He measured well his distance, and every hit told well. His science and courage gave him so decided an advan tage from the first round, that nothing but .Dogher ty's determined courage could give him a chance, and that chance was in staying too long; but nei ther's strength was equal to that of Degherty, who, as a skilful fighter, will never be a first-rater. He hits often open handed, and measures his distance badly ; but he chewed himself a ' real game . Man, labouring under these ditedvantagii. His head was as frightful a spetaaele as either of the combatants at the Newmarket fight, or any other, and he was conveyed away with care in a chaise, senselest, to every thing but his pains. —The above match was for he guineas. Belcher had not even a hit which made any visible impression. . • • A second battle was fought for a subscription purse, between Richman, the black, and a West Countryman, who was a candidate . for the list of pu g lists, but who failed in his attempt. At the Om liilnodirrtetit of tLe battle Richman had - the Worst of , it, his adversary bring a at m) of size and strtiigtli much superior to himself, and by going in and Richman was pt a loss frequently, until tilt: 'countryman, who appeared rather tired, stood and sparred. with his adversary, when he met. itichmati's science by some severe left-handed facers, Which ultimately so much displeased him, that be ' .toOk -Kleiman by the legs and. 4it him over his ,`44d. There were, however, some rallying rounds, and the countryman was so full of gaiety at the commencement, that he had lost more strength in bravado to the speaatOrs, than in throwing away his hits, and hitting RiehMan, which event occurred but seldom. The countryman dispidyed a little of the white feather towards the end at the battle, and prudently Ct:clined being punished much. Twit Jones seconded the winner.—The ring was well attended, as usual. , POLICE. Bow-STREET•.—In consequence of the outrage coMMitted upon MARGARET WEs-r, a servant of Mr..

This information being given to Mr. GAAHAM, the sitting Magistrate, on Wednesday, he requested Mr. Andrews to attend the girl, which he accord jugly did. Yesterday, Isaac Dawitrry, the coachman in custody, :charged with being one of the men who violated her person, was brought to the Office for re-examination. Mr. Fisher, an assistant to Mr. Andrews, attend ed, and stated, that he had examined Margaret West on. Wednesday evening and yesterday morning.

It now l'3lllo befOre the Coert upon th© tiling of new affidavits ; and as the limits to which we flave peen obliged to confine bur Law Report, tertainlT with snore lettitlatice, has obliged us to exclude our previous intbrmation on the case, it will be neves , sary that we should make a few introdutiory re marks, to prepare our Readers for the concluding stage of the proceeding. On the occasion of the success of the British arms on the shores of La Plata, numerous British mer chants Made large consignments to that country, to the amount of three millions of money ; among whom wire the parties in this cause. The. De fendant, Mr. Gowland, entered into partnership with the Plaintiff's, and on board the Anne, took out large consignments, which were to be diSposed of for the common concern, trading under the firm of Schmidmare and Co. After this Gentleman had arrived at Monte Video, he not only engaged in ex, tensive business on account of the partnership, but he also entered into some speculations on his own separate account; and, by the British Commander in Chief, was appointed to the lucrative office of Vendee Master, in which situation he had the dis posal of property to a considerable value, for the sale of which he obtained a liberal commission. On the event of the evacuation of Monte Video, in t 807, in conseeeence of the treaty . between Generals Whitelocke and Liniers, the Defendant left Monte Video, and in ()Lather, teo7, embarked in the Ship Favourite, Captain Cleveland, previously converting his property into gold and silver, to the amount of about ten thousand pounds, on which an. insurance was eifeeted in this country. It was contended by the Plaintiff:, that the Defendant had engaged with them, in his articles olco-partnership, to devote his whole time, during his Trans-Atlantic Expedition, to advance the purposes of the common concern, and not to apply any portion of it to any separate adventures, for his own private emolument. On this ground it was argued, that all the advantageS derived from the exclusive speculations of the De fendant, whether As a private Merchant or Vendee Master, ought to be thrown into the general account ; or at least, if not carried to the credit of the Plaintiff's, that Mr. Gowland ought to state such complete ac counts a the respective transaaions, as a partner, and as private adventurer, that no possible doubt could remain on the mind of his Lordship as to the separation of these ,interests. This dot-trine was assumed on the authority of the well-known cases of the Duke of Newcastle v. Jackson, and of Peyton p. Panton, decided in the Court Uf Exchequer. At the last hearing it was disclosed, that for the purpose of distinguishing the interests of Mr. Gowland, as a partner, and as a sole merchant, the hooks had not been produced; and the consideration of the subjed was therefore postponed, by the Lord Chancellor, .until such books were produced, and until they were authenticated, by the proper affidavits. The matter came forward on motion to restrain the Defendant from selling the etfeets, and from recovering either the partnership or the separate effects (it separate they could ba called) ; and that a receiver might be appointed for the whole, under the cognizance of the Court. . Sir SAICIAL RONIILLY, for the Plaintiffs, Sup ported this motion. He said, that the Defendant never considered this as a distlina trade of his own, until it became necessary to abandon Monte Video. - The boas were now produced, after having been sent to Cork, and after the Captain of the Ilwourite had denied having any account-books on board, as alledged by . Mr. Gowland. But in what state were they surrendered to the onservation of the Plaintiffs ? They were not account-books as had been represent ed ; they were merely' diaries, o r , memorandum books, toll of er a sur es an d i nter li neat i ons ; one o f thetas with several leaves torn out; and, in truth, they had all the appearance of being fabricated for. the purpose of this cause. It appeared, that although the Detendant himself was stated to be perfe6tly con versant in merchant's accounts, yet that he had em ployed as his Clerk, at Monte Video, a Mr. Morino, who was before hi the character of Musician, or Comedian, at that settlement, The Learned Coun sel contended; that there were so many circumstances of suspicion -eOtille.ted with these books, that his Lordship must see the necessity of granting the ob jeets 'of the motion, and especially as Mr. Gowland proposed immediately to quit this Country, in which evcut the redress sought by these Plaiutiffs must be completely disappointed, if this Court should not think fit immediately to interpose. Messrs. RICHARDS and HART, at considerable length„endeavoured to justify the condo& of the Defendant, who,. in the .hurry and contusion in which the •British merchants at Moue Video were latterly exposed, could have no opportunity of making that regular arrangement of his nccorultti which the ,Court, under More favourable eireurnstancei, would require: In any case, the motion went inoch beyond whit( the Court would concede. It knight, that his Lordship should lay his hand upon the whole priti. perry of the Deteudaut, whether connected with hit partnership concerns, his separate, interests as a pri vine merchant„; or his otbcial business as a Vendue master at the Port pf Monte Video. There was no precedent to skew that the Court had on any occa sion exercised such an authority on the application iof Plaintilfs . who had obvidusly and avowedly no inter est in the property (and the Court would not deviate on the present occasion from its acknowledged and established practice. After sortie interlocutory observations by the Learned Counsel, it was agreed, that all matters in' ditference'between the parties should be referred. to Mr. BULLER anci,Mr. Huou 'Nous, who were to appoint an umpire, and Mr. But.t.aa to be the stake holder for the general concern. It being also re presented that the .Detendaut had a wife and six children who were unprovided for, excepting from these sources, it was agreed, that such temp o rary allowance should be made to them as the arbitrator* should think peeper. HENRY WILLIA,MS.: We "have before had Occ.asion to 'notice some of the particulars connecled :with this bankruptcy.

'discussed, to the express condition that certain legal proceedings - inlreland, instituted.by the - bAnitrupt 3 were sutyed. Sir SA Muitt flordttive now thought that the hank . - rupt should be committed to the Fleet pris(tn, i,;1; contempt, lie having admitted hit Solicitor ut ire= land to proceed in the a&ion ; that, further, he should pay the costs incident to such progressio the aftions ; and, in addition to this, that. he should pay the costs of the present application. The Learned Counsel said, that the lenity of the Court was ex:: tended towards this person, on the terms, that such suits in Ireland should be discontinued, and disobe dience in this important particular would fully justi fy Owl:on:it in granting the objet of the motion... He read .various affidavits; to shew that the, bank- rupea'Solitittir in .Ireland had proceeded in bprio.. sition to the intentions of the Court. He tiriher read atinffidavit of Mr. Williatn4, which he said was whollyunsatisfaalory, and was manifestly fram ed to elude'the . purposes ofjustice. Sir ARTHUR Proorr and Mr. LEACH, on behalf of Mr. Williams, 'contended, that the order given to. the Attorney, of their Client in Ireland was suffi ciently explicit to induce any reasonable person to discontinue the actions; but that, if their Client wa4 to becivilly liable, he could not be mad; criminally -responsible for the conclud of his agent. They in sisted, that, in any view of the case, this was a very harsh proceeding, which the Court would not • bti disposed to countenance. The Court did not comply with the object of the motion, so far as reipeaed the .order for the com mitment of Mr. William, , but in other respetls itC.; quiesced nearly in the .tei-ins of the application.
